Which radars cover Corinna?
The closest NEXRAD Doppler radar is KGYX (Portland, ME), about 86 miles southwest. Radar beams climb as they travel, so the height of the lowest scan over town decides how low in a storm the radar can see.
| Radar | Distance | Lowest beam over Corinna | View |
|---|---|---|---|
| KGYX Portland, ME | 86 mi southwest | 7,700 ft | Fair — the beam can pass over shallow snow and low-level rotation |
| KCBW Caribou, ME | 105 mi northeast | 10,300 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
| KCXX Burlington, VT | 194 mi west | 27,700 ft | Limited — the beam overshoots the lowest part of storms |
Beam height is the center of the 0.5° scan above the radar, with standard refraction. Mountains near a radar can block it further.
